I'm lucky, I wont have my new box until the end of next week, so I figure it should be working really well in ~amd64 by then :-)

Cool...

The main meta ebuild (gnome-base/gnome-2.14.0) is not in yet, but I've constructed my own by bumping all the versions and adding new packages where needed.

It looks like there's only a few packages left to hit portage... (based on gnome-2.14 release pkg versions)

There was a hal-0.5.7 at breakmygentoo so I just used that... seems to work fine, although for some reason I've noticed my USB jump drive which worked 100% in the previous gnome doesn't yet mount properly (it mounts, but the icon doesn't appear and the drive doesn't have its normal name...) I guess this might be because I'm emerging packages as they show up...

Ok, so back on topic...

All the ebuilds for USE="accessibility" are in. I see they were committed this morning.

So, what's left?

# >=net-misc/vino-2.13.5
This is minor, is just a vnc server and I don't think anything depends on it. I left the version at the 2.12.x version for now.

# >=gnome-base/gnome-screensaver-2.14.0
A totally new package so I expect this one might be one of the last. (Can't wait though.. much nicer integration than Xscreensaver)

# >=gnome-extra/gtkhtml-3.10.0
This one has a potential to break stuff, but I beleive it should be slotted as "3.10", so it's not that bad.
I tried a version bumped ebuild, but there's more that needs to be adjusted because paths are not being defined correctly.

# >=mail-client/evolution-2.6.0
# >=gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.6.0
# >=gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.5.90
New Evolution (and evolution-webcal is a new package). No ebuild yet, just left at 2.12.x versions for now.

>=sys-apps/hal-0.5.7
Built and installed ok, it was a simple version bump, minus some old patches. It seems ok though automounting hotplugged devices has been broken on my system for a little while now, it does detect devices and create desktop icons. Thats probably an existing config issue I need to track down.

>=app-text/evince-0.5.2
Another simple version bump, just added to overlay and dropped one old patch. It built and installed along with deps (poppler and poppler-bindings).

>=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.5
Version bump, built ok. Installed totem 1.4.0 to test and it works though I've gotten it to segfault a couple times when abusing it (lots of rapid seeking in Xvid video).

(Sidenote: Upgrading totem upgrade broke Rhythmbox which depends on a totem lib which was upgraded, ugh)

Does anyone have gnome-mount working with /etc/fstab entries? When ever I try to mount a device that a user can mount that is defined in /etc/fstab gnome-mount shows an error dialog box "You are not privileged to mount ***." Does anyone have anyway to fix this without removing the entries from /etc/fstab?

All of the ebuilds are now in portage except for:

And none of those are required to build (possibly hal), but for all of those a simple version bump is all that's needed.

I'm installing now (about 1/2 way done).

Already found bug #126740

I'd post my gnome-base/gnome-2.14.0.ebuild but I think it'll show up in portage pretty soon anyhow. PM if you want...

rapsure · Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 3:02 am Post subject: gnome-mount

coldplug doesn't mount. The current method for removable devices is for gnome-mount to tell hal to mount. hal then creates a mount point, and mounts the new device. To do this you need to have user space events enabled in the kernel. There used to be a need for hotplug / coldplug, but not any more. The problem is that I want to have consistent moun points for my dvdrom, and my floppy drive. I don't care to have those being mounted to a mount point that hal is creating, because the mount point is inconsistent, and depends on the disk label. Also when I exit gnome, and I go to the terminal I still want to be able to mount my cds/dvds. It is easy if I have fstab entries defining my dvdrom, and floppy drive. The problem is when I have those fstab entries gnome-mount then shows an error, "You are not privileged to mount ***", and so I want to either fix the problem, or see it fixed. If someone else has experienced the gnome-mount issue I am having, I would like to see how you solved it.

An updated gnome-mount will most likely need to go into portage. The reason being is that the gnome-mount-0.4 can't mount devices that aren't polled by hal. This is a bug, and has been fixed upstream. Either a new version or a patch will need to go into the gnome-mount-0.4 that is in portage.

Gnome 2.14 has just hit portage as a meta package.

Just thought I'd let you all know :-)

You need to unmask it. It is there as of now..

kirillrdy · Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 5:24 am Post subject:

Ok, ok, but packages.gentoo.org STATES when packages are masked or not, and 2.14.0 simply isnt there, I assume it doesnt get updated as often then

It only gets updated every few hours or so.. I know gentoo-portage.com is 3 hours.

rapsure · Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 5:51 am Post subject: packages

Ekiga is listed as part of the desktop at gnome.org, but I think it will be an optional package for Gentoo gnome 2.14

There are still a few optional packages that are nice:

gnome-power-manager
sabayon
nautilus-actions
pessulus

Optional games:
atomix
gksudo
